If you are booting into single user mode you get asked what you want for shell anyways. Just type /bin/sh or /bin/csh. > > I see too many people coming from Linux thinking that this is _ok_ > to do. It is NOT. Typing 'bash' after 'su' don't kill you. The approach I usually take is make roots shell tcsh and activate the toor account with /bin/csh as the login shell. That way if I need a non single user root account when tcsh is screwed up I have a way in. > the 'local' subtree is there for a reason. Now that I agree with. In fact, it frustrates me that so many X ports put stuff in /usr/X11R6/bin. -- Jason To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
